 Yet, despite evidence that the road-building approach is regressive, inappropriate, and unsustainable for dense developing cities, it is an approach which continues to be followed throughout the world.

 The advanced cities’ car-based suburbanised model is not working well. It is wasteful in physical and human resources, is not environmentally sound and leaves much to be desired in terms of human interaction. Developing cities still avoid the failings of advanced cities and create a different city model. It is still possible to think and act differently.

+Based on a concept developed by the Toronto-based Centre for Sustainable Transportation, which has been adopted by the '''European Conference of Transport Ministers (ECMT)''' and numerous other relevant international organizations, sustainable transportation can be defined as follows:
 A more sustainable transportation system is one that:
 *Allows the basic access and development needs of people to be met safely and promotes equity within and between successive generations. (Social dimension)
 *Is affordable within the limits imposed by internalisation of external costs, operates fairly and efficiently, and fosters a balanced regional development. (Economic dimension)
-*Limits emissions of air pollution and greenhouse gases (GHG) as well as waste and minimizes the impact on the use of land and the generation of noise.
+*Limits emissions of air pollution and '''greenhouse gases (GHG)''' as well as waste and minimizes the impact on the use of land and the generation of noise.
 In conclusion, low-carbon, sustainable transport reduces short and long term negative impacts on the local and global environments, has economically viable infrastructure and operation, and provides safe and secure access for both persons and goods.
